EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Resolution 1: Adoption of the Remuneration Report – Ordinary Resolution

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed Company's Annual General Meeting, a Resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted must be put to the Shareholders. However, such a Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company.

The Remuneration Report sets out the Company's remuneration arrangements for Key Management Personnel of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors' Report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 31 December 2018.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

Voting Consequences

Under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on a Remuneration Report Resolution are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a Resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of Directors of the Company at the second annual general meeting.

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the conditional Resolution, the Company must convene the extraordinary general meeting (Spill Meeting) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting. All of the Directors of the Company, who were in office at this meeting (2019 AGM) other than the Managing Director of the Company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors of the Company is approved by the Shareholders will be the Directors of the Company.

At the Company's previous annual general meeting, the votes cast against the Remuneration Report considered at that annual general meeting were more than 25%. Accordingly, the Resolution is relevant.

Voting Restrictions

Members of the Key Management Personnel and their proxies and Closely Related Parties are restricted from voting on a Resolution put to Shareholders that the Remuneration Report of the Company be adopted. Key Management Personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether executive or otherwise) of that entity.

The Voting Restriction does not apply where:

  • (a) The Chairman or any other member of the Key Management Personnel is appointed in writing (by a Shareholder who is not a member of the Key Management Personnel or a Closely Related Party of Key Management Personnel) as a proxy with specific instructions on how to vote on a Resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report of the Company; or
  • (b) the Chairman is appointed (by a Shareholder who is not Key Management Personnel or a Closely Related Party of Key Management Personnel) as a proxy with no specific instructions on how to vote on a non-binding shareholder vote on remuneration, where the Shareholder provides express authorisation for the Chairman to do so.

Shareholders should be aware that any undirected proxies given to the Chairman will be cast by the Chairman and counted in favour of the Resolutions of this Meeting, including Resolution 1, subject to compliance with the Corporations Act.

Resolution 2: Re-Election of Director – Mr. David Astill - Ordinary Resolution

Clause 47 of the Company's Constitution, provides that one third of all existing Directors, excluding the Managing Director, must retire by rotation each annual general meeting. Mr. David Astill retires in accordance with clause 47 of the Company's constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.5 and being eligible, offers himself for re-election. Mr. Astill was appointed as a Director of the Company on 24 September 2015.

Mr. Astill is a Legal Practitioner Director of the Astill Legal Group which has been in operation for over forty years and retains active panel appointments with major banks and corporations in Australia. During the last ten years, Mr. Astill has built a Corporate Advisory and Governance practice and has provided advice on strategic matters, project planning and management for major transactions.

Mr. Astill experience extends to capital markets, mergers and acquisitions and corporate restructuring, and he has acted on transactions and capital raisings (equity and debt) across various sectors for many listed and unlisted companies in Australia. Mr. Astill has range of clientele ranging from banking and financial institutions, mortgage trusts, property and development corporations, and individuals who he advises in relation to a wide range of commercial and corporate issues and shareholder contests (including managing related litigation). Mr. Astill is admitted as a solicitor of the Supreme Court of Queensland and High Court of Australia and he obtained his Bachelor of Laws from the Queensland University of Technology. He is also a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

Board Recommendation

The Directors unanimously (with Mr. Astill abstaining in relation to his own appointment) supports the re-election of Mr. Astill. Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

Chairman's available Proxies

The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

Resolution 3: Ratification of Prior Issue of Shares - Ordinary Resolution

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a Company must not, subject to specified exceptions under ASX Listing Rule 7.2, issue or agree to issue Shares during any 12 month period in excess of 15% of the number of Shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period without Shareholder approval.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 by permitting the ratification of previous issues of Shares which were not made under a prescribed exception under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with Shareholder approval, provided that such issues did not breach the 15% threshold set out by Listing Rule 7.1. If Shareholders of a company approve the ratification of such previous issues of Shares at a general meeting, those Shares will be deemed to have been issued with Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Accordingly, if Shareholders ratify the Company's previous issues of Shares (made under Listing Rule 7.1) by way of approving Resolution 3, those Shares will be deemed to have been issued with Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and will no longer be deducted from the Company's 15% Placement Capacity.

Specific Information for Resolution 3

The August Placement Shares were issued under the Company's 15% placement capacity to institutional and sophisticated investors.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, which provides requirements as to the contents of a notice sent to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4, the following information is provided to Shareholders:

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Chairman's available Proxies

The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3

Resolution 4: Approval to change the Loan Notes to Convertible Loan Notes - Ordinary Resolution

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and for all other purposes to make effective the conversion right of the Loan Notes holders. The approval will result in the issuance of 5,900,000 Equity Securities, without using the Company's 15% Placement Capacity. The Loan Notes proposed to be changed to Convertible Loan Notes are those issued to Note holders that participated in the March and April Capital Raising by way of 'Loan Notes'.

On the 5th of February 2019, the Company announced to ASX that it had secured commitments for $650,000 in financing by way of Convertible Notes. The Company later secured additional commitments on the same terms for $285,000, which was announced to the ASX on 27th March 2019. The Convertible Notes were issued as debt securities and did not count towards the Company's placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, when originally announced in March and April 2019. The Company is seeking to convert the debt securities to Equity Securities and the Shares to be issued will fall under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 4.

The Loan Notes were issued with a face value of $1, and an interest rate of 10% per annum maturing 31 December 2021. The complete terms of the Notes are attached to this Notice as Schedule 1.

Should Shareholders approve Resolution 4, the Loan Notes automatically change to Convertible Loan Notes which are Convertible into Shares at a conversion price of $0.15 per Share. The Company will then be able to issue 5,900,000 Shares pursuant to the conversion of the Convertible Loan Notes, without using its 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1

The participants in the Convertible Note issue for consideration under Resolution 4, are not related parties of the Company.

Specific Information for Resolution 4:

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided to Shareholders:

Board Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

Chairman's Available Proxies

The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 4.

Resolution 5: Approval to change the Loan Notes to Convertible Loan Notes for a Director - Ordinary Resolution

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and for all other purposes to make effective the conversion right of the Loan Notes. The approval will result in the issuance of 333,334 Equity Securities without using the Company's 15% Placement Capacity.

The Loan Notes proposed to be changed to Convertible Loan Notes for Mr. Tye were among those issued to the investors in the March round of the capital raising by way of 'Loan Notes'

The Loan Notes were issued with a face value of $1, and an interest rate of 10% per annum maturing 31 December 2021.

Should Shareholders approve Resolution 5, the Loan Notes automatically change to Convertible Loan Notes which are Convertible into Shares at a conversion price of $0.15 per Share. The Company will then be able to issue 333,334 Shares pursuant to the conversion of the Convertible Loan Notes, without using it's 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1

ASX Listing Rule 10.1 requires a company to obtain Shareholder approval prior to the issue of securities to a related party of the company. As a Director, Mr Philip Tye is a related party of the Company and accordingly Resolution 5 seeks shareholder approval required by ASX Listing Rule 10.1 to allow the issue of share to Mr Philip Tye.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13 which contains requirements as to the contents of a notice sent to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11., the following information is provided to Shareholders:

Maximum number of securities to be issued ConvertibleLoanNotesconvertinto333,334 Shares

Use of funds raised The funds will be applied towards theCompany's general working capital and toreduce liabilities associated with the LoanNotes.
Voting exclusion A voting exclusion statement applies to thisResolution as set out in the notice.

Approval not sought under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

For the purposes of Chapter 2E Mr Philip Tye is a related party of the Company by virtue of section 228(2) of the Corporations Act. A "financial benefit" is defined in the Corporations Act in broad terms and expressly includes a public company issuing securities to a related party. The giving of a financial benefit to a related party is ordinarily prohibited by Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

Section 210 of the Corporations Act that member approval is not needed to give a financial benefit on terms that;

  • a) would be reasonable in the circumstances if the public company or entity and the related party were dealing at arms-length; or
  • b) are less favourable to the related party that the terms referred to in paragraph (a)

In the view of the Directors the issue of the Loan Notes to Mr Philip Tye was on an arms-length basis on the same terms and conditions as the other participants and therefore satisfies the arm'slength test.

Board Recommendation

The Directors, with Mr Philip Tye abstaining, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

Chairman's Available Proxies

The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 5.

Resolution 6: Approval of 10% Placement Capacity – Special Resolution

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, every listed entity has the ability to issue 15% of its issued capital without shareholder approval in a 12 month period. ASX Listing Rule 7.1A permits eligible small and mid-cap ASX listed entities, subject to shareholder approval, to issue Equity Securities of up to an additional 10% of its issued capital by way of placements over a 12 month period, in addition to its ability to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1 (10% Placement Capacity)

The Company seeks shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A for the 10% Placement Capacity. The effect of this Resolution will be to allow the Company, subject to the conditions set out below, to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity without using the Company's 15% Placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Resolution 6 is a Special Resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person or by proxy) at the meeting must be in favour of this Resolution for it to be passed.

Eligibility

ASX listed entities which have a market capitalisation of $300 million or less and which are not included in the S&P ASX 300 Index are considered eligible to seek shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. As at the date of this Notice, the Company, which has a market capitalisation of less than $300 million, is not included in the S&P ASX 300 Index. Accordingly, the Company is considered eligible to seek shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Formula

The exact number of additional Equity Securities that the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined by a formula set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as follows:

10% Placement Capacity = (A x D) – E

Where:

A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

  • plus the number of Fully Paid Ordinary Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
  • plus the number of Partly Paid Shares that became fully paid in advance in the previous 12 months (there are presently no partly paid Shares on issue in the Company)
  • plus the number of shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of Shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of Fully Paid Shares under the Company's 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and
  • less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.

'A' has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

'D' is 10%.

'E' is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4

Conditions of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

There are a number of conditions applicable to the issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, including a limitation on the discount to prevailing market price at which they may be issued, and additional disclosure requirements. A summary of these conditions is as follows:

  • (a) Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity can only be in a class of securities already quoted. At the date of this Notice, the Company only has once class of securities quoted, being Ordinary Shares.
  • (b) The issue price of each Equity Security issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be no less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price (VWAP) for Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before either:
    • (i) The date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
    • (ii) If the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph(i), the date on which the securities are issued.

Period of validity of shareholder approval

In the event that the Company obtains shareholder approval for Resolution 6, such approval will cease to be valid upon the earlier of:

  • (a) 12 months after the date of this Annual General Meeting, being 27 May 2020 or
  • (b) If applicable, the date on which the Company's Shareholders approve a change to the nature or scale of the Company's activities under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2, or the disposal of the Company's main undertaking under ASX Listing Rule 11.2.

Information to be provided to shareholders under ASX Listing rule 7.3A

Minimum issue price

The issue price of each Equity Security issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be no less than 75% of the VWAP for Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before either:

  • (i) The date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
  • (ii) If the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (i), the date on which the securities are issued.

Risk of Dilution to Shareholders

If Resolution 6 is approved by Shareholders, any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity may present a risk of economic and voting dilution of existing Shareholders, including the risk that:

  • The market price of the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the relevant issue date than on the date of this meeting; and
  • The Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price prior to the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date.

The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Shareholders under various scenarios on the basis of:

  • An issue price of $0.079 which was the closing price of the Company's Shares on the ASX on 1st April 2019; and
  • The variable 'A' being calculated as the number of Fully Paid Ordinary Shares on issue on the date of this Notice, being 103,248,334 Fully Paid Ordinary Shares

The table also shows;

  • (a) Two examples where variable 'A' has increased by 50% and 100%. The number of Shares on issue on the Company may increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require approval of Shareholders (for example, pro-rate entitlement issues or scrip issues under takeover offers) or future placements of Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 of up to 15% of issued capital that are approved at future general meetings of Shareholders; and
  • (b) Two examples of where the issue price if Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100%.

  • g. The issue price is $0.079 being the closing price of the Company's Shares on 1st April 2019; and

Reasons for issue of Shares under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may seek to issue Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • (a) Non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets, businesses or investments, in which event the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
  • (b) Cash consideration, the proceeds of which will be applied to fund the Company's existing and future activities, including research and development and commercialisation of the Company's product offerings; marketing activities, appraisal of corporate opportunities, investment in new businesses (if any), the costs incurred in undertaking the placement(s) of Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.A and for general working capital.

Allocation Policy

The Company may not issue any or all the Equity Securities for which approval is given and may issue the Equity Securities progressively as the Company places the Equity Securities with investors. The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity.

The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors such as:

  • (a) Fund raising options (and their viability) available to the Company at the relevant time;
  • (b) The effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
  • (c) The financial situation of the Company and the urgency of the requirement for funds; and
  • (d) Advice from the Company's corporate, financial, legal, and broking advisors.

The allottees under the 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice. The allottees may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders, but the allottees will not be related parties of the Company. In the event that the Shares under the 10% Placement Capacity are issued consideration for the acquisition of businesses, assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees will be the vendors of such businesses, assets or investments.

Previous Approval

The Company has not previously obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

The table below shows the number and type of Equity Securities issued by the Company in the 12 months preceding the Meeting, and the percentage they represent of the total number of Equity securities on issue at 27 May 2018 being;

Terms of Equity Securities issued in preceding 12 months

All Shares issued by the Company in the 12 months preceding the Meeting have the same terms and rank equally in all respects with existing Shares in the Company.

Application of funds raised through issue of Equity Securities

The Company has raised a total of $2,000,000 in cash through the issue of Equity Securities during the 12 months preceding the Meeting. The Company has applied funds in to accelerate the Company's sales pipeline in Australia and the UK.

The Company has also raised $935,000 through the issue of Loan Notes, which will be classified as Equity Securities should Resolutions 4 and 5 be approved.

Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement applies to this Resolution, as set out in the Notice.

Board Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Chairman's Proxies

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of this Resolution.

Resolution 7: A general meeting to be held within 90 days- Ordinary Resolution

This Resolution will be put to the meeting only if the Company receives a "second strike" on its Remuneration Report as explained in the explanatory note for Resolution 1.

At the Company's 2018 Annual General Meeting, more than 25% of the votes on the Resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report were cast against the Remuneration Report. If at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are against the Remuneration Report at the 2019 Annual General Meeting, the Corporations Act requires that Resolution 7 be put to the meeting. However, if less than 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are against the Remuneration Report, there will be no second strike and Resolution 7 will not be put to the meeting.

If more than 50% of the members vote in favour of the Spill resolution:

  • (a) the Company must convene a general meeting within 90 days of the 2019 Annual General Meeting.
  • (b) all the Directors of the Company (other than the Managing Director) who were Directors at this meeting will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.

Each relevant Director is eligible, but not required to seek re-election as Directors of the Company at the Spill Meeting.

Members should note that unlike Resolution 1 to approve the Remuneration Report, there are no voting exclusions applicable to resolutions appointing Directors at the Spill Meeting.

Directors Recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote AGAINST Resolution 7. It is the Board's view that, in the circumstances, the holding of a Spill Meeting and removal of all Directors (other then the Managing Director) would be significantly disruptive to the Company and would result in unnecessary expense.
